If Trump was smart, he would resign soon

It was a reference to Obama. You remember Obama the alinsky/sharpton combination right?

p.s. As for business he turned it into a multibillion dollar business.

None of his critics would be capable of such.

R-right…

And I was wrong. Congressional approval is NOT needed. Only approval by three-fourths of state legislatures. That makes the two-thirds-of-states proposal requirement odd though.

Especially given Trump senior was contemporaneously born in Germany and the USA.

Ludicrous.

I know he is not one to admit defeat, but honestly I think that if Trump looked ahead at the big picture, his best move at this point would be to resign. And I mean this year.

It would be the worst thing for the Democrats and the best thing for the GOP and himself.

Here’s why.

First, I don’t think he ever imagined winning. He is ill suited to the job, doesn’t seem to enjoy it, and I imagine he would much rather run his business than have to deal with Pelosi and the endless scrutiny he is now facing.

Second, he needs an out. If he loses in 2020 he will be going to jail for the rest of his life, if not by the DOJ certainly by the SDNY. What he needs is a pardon, and to do that he needs to walk away and have Pence become President. Pence can then pardon him in the same way Ford pardoned Nixon.

Now, he can gamble and try to win in 2020 and then just resign if he loses and have Pence pardon him during the lame duck period. But the GOP would certainly want a chance to win in 2020 if the numbers are looking bad for him by putting up someone more palatable to the voters. Resigning this year allows the GOP to either bolster Pence or generate additional candidates and debates for public consumption. This would also allow the GOP a better chance to hold the Senate.

If he actually wins in 2020, he can then be impeached, which he almost certainly will be. The only reason Pelosi is holding off is because she feels the straighter path to getting him out of office is the 2020 election. That will not be the case should he win. Not only will he be a target so will his kids and his businesses. He will lose that which he actually cares about trying to keep a job he never wanted.

The only way he winds up walking out like a boss and then starting the next chapter of his life is to go out on his own terms, a legend to his followers. He can take what he has done and turn it into a successful media empire or even an entire takeover of the GOP with him as the kingmaker, free from scrutiny and making big bucks.

Do I think he would do that? No, the narcissism he suffers from doesn’t allow him to admit defeat even when he wins as a result.

Your thoughts?

Fail. George W. Bush was certainly predecessor but he was 1000 times smarter than trump.

Trump is probably the smartest prez to come along.

Certainly smarter than Obama and light years smarter than Biden the Zombie.

You really can’t point fingers and call others dumb. After all you voted for a senile old pervert. You were all set to vote for the senile old pervert again until your democrat leaders told you to vote for an idiot because she checked off all the right boxes.

Oldandtired · March 10, 2025, 6:18pm

Democrats were never known for being an intelligent bunch.

biggestal99 · March 10, 2025, 6:24pm

tell that to Marc Elias, a democrat who has ripped the republican party
on times to numerous to mention.
